Wed Sep 7 201108:16Ingram ends up on Lions' P-squad
Lions added TE Cornelius Ingram to their practice squad.
We note this practice squad signing only because of Ingram's upside as a pass-catcher. If he can ever get over his dual ACL surgeries, he'll threaten to return to an active roster. The Lions obviously think Ingram has a chance to do so.

Eagles waived TE Cornelius Ingram, DB Jamar Wall, WR Rod Harper, LB/DE Chris Wilson, C A.Q. Shipley, FB Stanley Havili, C Dallas Reynolds, and RB Graig Cooper.
Ingram has never rediscovered the explosiveness he showed at Florida after multiple ACL tears. He's believed to be headed to the practice squad. Cooper held his own in the preseason finale and could be another candidate for the squad.

Thu Aug 11 201116:09Cornelius Ingram lacking explosion
The explosion TE Cornelius Ingram showed as a rookie in 2009 "just isn't there anymore," according to beat writer Jeff McLane.
Ingram hasn't been the same since his second ACL tear to the same knee back in 2009. This is his third camp with the Eagles, and he's yet to play in a regular season game. Ingram "doesn't appear to be running with a hitch," but he's now a roster longshot.

Tue Jan 11 201116:06Eagles sign Ingram to futures contract
Eagles signed TE Cornelius Ingram, TE John Nalbone, and WR Jeremy Williams to reserve/future contracts.
A victim of multiple ACL tears, Ingram spent the 2010 on and off the Eagles' practice squad. He may never stay healthy long enough to reach his once vast potential. Nalbone, a project, was the Dolphins' fifth-round pick in 2009. Williams shined in OTAs with the Chargers last season before disappearing in training camp.

Tue Nov 2 201020:46Lions work out TE Cornelius Ingram
Lions worked out free agent TE Cornelius Ingram on Tuesday.
The Lions have two perfectly good pass-catching tight ends in Brandon Pettigrew and Tony Scheffler, so they're just performing due diligence in case of injuries. Ingram disappointed in Eagles camp this past summer while coming back from his second ACL surgery.

Ex-Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram cleared waivers over the weekend and is now an unrestricted free agent.
NFL teams are obviously aware of Ingram's multiple ACL tears, and his play on the practice field in Eagles training camp left a lot to be desired. In a best case scenario, the former Florida Gator will pop up on a practice squad.

Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram underwent a procedure to drain a cyst from behind his left knee.

Wed Aug 25 201014:41Cornelius Ingram headed for injured reserve?
The Philadelphia Daily News' Les Bowen calls Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram (knee, calf) "an excellent bet for injured reserve."
Ingram is having an MRI on his left calf -- the same leg in which he's twice torn the ACL. Bowen confirms Ingram "has not been able to run at full speed" in camp. The Birds could stash him on I.R. and see what he has left in 2011.

Wed Aug 11 201022:07Cornelius Ingram struggling in camp
Geoff Mosher of the Delaware County Times has observed in Eagles camp that TE Cornelius Ingram "is not looking spry" in practice.
Philly.com passed along similar sentiment a week ago, and recent reports have rookie Clay Harbor overtaking Ingram for the No. 2 tight end role. Mosher has dubbed Brent Celek the Eagles' "most indispensable player on offense."

Wed Aug 4 201014:12Ingram fails to stand out in training camp
Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram "has not stood out much at all" early in training camp.
Rookie Clay Harbor is now the favorite for the No. 2 tight end job. He's more physical than Ingram, and the Eagles are going to want the better blocker to match with Brent Celek. The Eagles don't use many two-tight end sets, so neither player will have fantasy value barring an injury to Celek.

Sun Jul 25 201019:00Cornelius Ingram says he's finally healthy
Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram (knee) says he's "100 percent for the first time in a long time."
"I've had great (workouts) this summer, and I can't wait to get back at it," he said. Ingram didn't miss a single OTA practice and is on track to be the Eagles' No. 2 tight end this season. While he'll be hard pressed to catch many passes behind Brent Celek, Ingram will be an intriguing deep league pickup if Celek goes down. He was a seam stretcher before his knee injuries.

Fri Jun 11 201010:37Ingram participated in all spring practices
Cornelius Ingram (ACL tear) participated in every practice during OTAs this spring.
Ingram, who has showed good movement and solid hands, is "clearly" ahead of Martin Rucker and rookie Clay Harbor for the second tight end spot. He could see some time in two-tight end sets this year, but he won't be a fantasy factor barring an injury to Brent Celek.

Wed May 26 201009:59Ingram will be the clear No. 2 TE
If Cornelius Ingram is healthy, he'll be the "clear" No. 2 tight end, according to Sheil Kapadia of Philly.com.
Ingram is coming off two ACL surgeries is essentially an oversized wideout when healthy. He offers very little blocking ability, but will easily beat out Martin Rucker and Clay Harbor for the No. 2 role if healthy.

Thu May 20 201014:52Cornelius Ingram's knee holding up well
Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram's surgically repaired knee has held up well in the first two days of OTAs this week.
Igram has been cutting, running full speed, and even making catches that required "some tumbling." He won't be a fantasy factor in 2010, but he's talented enough for Dynasty leaguers to track his progress.

Wed May 19 201012:32Cornelius Ingram a full-go at OTAs
Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram (ACL surgeries) is a full participant at OTAs.
It remains to be seen how two ACL tears in as many years will affect Ingram's once-dangerous speed. A first- to second-day talent who fell to round five of the 2009 draft, Ingram is competing for backup snaps with Martin Rucker.

Thu May 6 201010:39Ingram participated in individual drills
Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram (ACL surgery) participated in individual drills during last weekend's minicamp.
Ingram projects as a backup pass-catching tight end, as long as he can prove he's healthy. All reports about his rehab have been positive, so we expect him to be a full go for training camp.

Mon Apr 12 201010:23Ingram says he'll be back for season opener
Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram (ACL surgery) said he should be back for Week 1.
It was previously assumed that Ingram will be ready for the start of training camp, so this may very well be a case of semantics. Ingram has torn his left ACL in August of 2007 and remarkably tore it again in August 2008, so his speed and agility will need to be monitored closely. Even at 100 percent, he won't push Brent Celek.
